I think you all underestimate exactly what Crawford has alway brought to this team. His leadership in the locker room has always been upfront, he's been a team captain and his versatility has saved this team almost year in and year out with injuries to other players. You cant call his play mediocre when hes able to play at different positions in a pinch. He can play DE or DT in both a 4-3 and 3-4 defense. While he-s never been seen as an all pro, hes definitely always been a solid player and team mate his whole career and thats why you see Jerry not even blink an eye about paying him. You have to remember he offered to take a pay cut if thats what it took to stay and Jerry said he wasnt gonna cut his pay. Obviously they believe in him and appreciate him. I think a lot of fans have just over looked what he has brought to the team all these years and Im hoping hes able to finish it up being the same solid player hes always been.
